Picture Frame Wall Collage DIY (using A “laser”)
The stud mark you placed, did you end up not using it because according to your meausre it was not necessary?
Did you drill holes for the anchors before driving them?
I do!
Great video, quick question though. Am I fully autistic or did you use a level to make a mark at the crease of the wall and ceiling? Why use the level? I'm probably missing something
You’re not missing someone, it was fairly unnecessary, anything with a straight edge would work.
Great points, great fixes, great logic, and helped in lowering the frustration one more project was taken care of. Every victory is a victory to celebrate! 🥳🥳 Thank you!
jezus this american walls are crazy. im from urope cant do it like you xD
Good video! For those anchors I found a Phillips screwdriver that is the same size as the shank of the anchor and just twist and push the screwdriver through the drywall.
Thank you. Big help!
I have been installing draperies for 18 years and I have never seen anyone use a square. That’s a new one.
Black fixtures, white curtains? Cheap curtains? They're not drawn to see how they hang! For quality, thick curtains the rod should be wider! They actually look a mess and narration very poor by an amateur
Keith, I can’t wait to watch your video! I would love to see clean curtains and quality narration by a pro! Please send a link so I can’t see because I am interested. Thanks - Brian
Are there not studs on every window? Wouldn't the stud make the best anchor point?
Stud makes best sense! Depends on where the stud framing is in your house. If that’s what is of most interest, find the studs first and work with those locations. Thanks for watching!
Nice video. Gave me some ideas. Could you add some links or more descriptions of the screw in anchors and that orange thing. I couldn't find those exact anchors. I searched" Toggle" brand but came up with toggle BOLTS. TIA.
So with those particular brackets, I assume you have the option of moving the curtain rod closer or further away from the wall?
I keep hitting a stud so idk what to do now lol
*What's the clearance of the wall of those brackets? Is it about 6 inches?*
Bondo is better
I thought of this i Have something like this but my hooks are really high up on the frame so there is no way for me to stick it on the wall without something showing :\ ugh
Hi there! Would like to help, but not sure I completely understand your situation…
@@littleimprovements it's alright I just moved the D hooks to towards inside the frame and put a wire and then hooked it to the wall thanks
The anxiety i experienced when u used a drill *While* the baby was sleeping was level 10000 😂😂😂😂
Dude, thank you. So easy yet never though of it :D You won me some points in front of my girl :D
Sweet! Awesome to hear, gotta keep the ladies happy! 😎
@@littleimprovementsyeah some s/w engineers wife need to make husband happy too😂 gonna try this tomorrow…cnt wt to fix the door …
can you give more information about the laser, isn't 15 bucks anymore, hard to find as well.
Don’t get that one, I would get something like this - Amazon Basics 360 Degree Rotating Laser Class II Level with 2 Extra-Large backlit bubble vials, 16-Foot, Yellow/Black a.co/d/gK9HWQz
Get to the fucking point
Go back to Europe illegal white migrant.
Thank you for making me laugh while doing something I was previously frustrated doing. Listening to your wife giggle in the background is too cute. Idk how either of y’all are keeping it together while he goes on about the rods. Or pay attention…I’m sorry… follow along. Def subscribed and liked! I’m doing a ton of around the house stuff all by myself for the first time so hope you keep posting good stuff! Happy New Year!
Thank you for the kind words Rae! If you have an idea for a project, let us know! I’m sure we can make it happen! Happy New Year
Always use tape to mark on
It's 3" x 4" from the window frame (molding), not from the ceiling. But great video
Why does everyone need to be a comedian. Get to the point!!
Looks good! Thanks for sharing.
A video i really needed at this hour, Really appreciate your detailing on the supports brackets.
What lubricant do you use ? Just WD40?
Hi there! Try the Blasters Mylti Purpose Lubricant spray, also used for many other things around the house.
@@littleimprovements I found the DRY LUBE from Blasters.
Thanks so much! I had never seeen one of those triangles which is really helpful for getting things lined up.
Toggle or Molly would be a better choice.
Thanks for answering my question about if i needed to go thru a stud!
Unless you’ve got toddlers who like to swing like Tarzan on the curtains they should be fine in drywall!
Just tie some fishing line on the frame lol
Love your contents!💥💥By the way, would you be interested in trying out our DOVOH laser level?
Sure!
Now get the pencil off the wall
A video I never new I needed!
What level and speed square are you using if you don’t mind me asking. I am looking to get a similar set for these type of projects.
Hey there, these are both made by “Johnson” , both cheaper Orange plastic but have been great for me for the investment! I think can get both at Lowe’s
@@littleimprovements Aweosme. Thank you so much for the info!
Crushed it! I'm making mine tomorrow thanks dude and lay off those cookies 😝
is that a window curtain or shower curtain?
it’s a window curtain
Is it really level since the room is out of square? Looks nice tho.
Buen trabajo amigo.
You probably wouldn't put these in your kitchen...but...can you?
I guess you CAN, if you’d like to. Personally, I would make sure I used a table saw for very precise cuts for the board. But at that point, you could figure out if to do true shaker cabinet doors. Also, a reasonable priced option is to “reface” kitchen cabinets doors. You can do some googling on refacing. It’s much cheaper than new cabinets. Thank you!
Hello. I watched your video. I manufacture and install curtains for all kinds of home offices in Ankara, the capital city of Turkey. mechanical curtains, tulle curtains, fabric curtains, manufacturing and sewing. what I want to ask ; How are curtains sold in the United States, are they bought or can you give me advice? Thank you from now.
Hi there. These are purchased at IKEA, not sure if there are IKEA’s in Turkey, but they are a home owner consumer store. Buyers can buy all the parts to install including the sown fabric curtains and either install them themselves or pay someone to do it.
@@littleimprovements I'm sorry, I couldn't ask my question clearly because I wrote it through google translate. Would there be any demand if we wanted to serve as a curtain store in America? I am asking because you are a consumer consumer in America. thanks :)
Thanks for the help
Super cute video guys. First time finding your content and because of this nifty tutorial, I am subscribed to your channel
You're assuming my ceiling is level?
Umm you don't roll on the mud lmao
Thank you so much, watching in March 2023 and it helps
What if you put one bracket on and then tape the level on the rod and then just put the other bracket on the other end and then when the rod is level mark the brackets position. Remove rod. Replace bracket, mark holes (some brackets can't be installed while the rod is in) drill holes and it should be level?
I know you said you would use this in a kitchen but mine look amazing. We live on a military base and their house are very outdated so I thought doing something like this would be very renter Friendly
Thank you for your service!!
You failed to lead out with a prop65 warning 😂.
😂 you Sir made my day!
